Abstract
- The pulsatile tinnitus is characterized by a rhythmic sound that is synchronous with the patient's heart beat. Accurate diagnosis is imperative, because in many patients, a treatable underlying etiology can be identified. Sigmoid sinus diverticulum is known to be one of the treatable causes of venous pulsatile tinnitus, but rarely reported in the literature. We experienced a case of sigmoid sinus diverticulum in a 58-year-old female presenting a pulsatile tinnitus. So we report this case with a review of literature.
